Hello, excellent video, thanks for sharing.
One question, with Notion and n8n can you share tweets with images and videos? Does it also work for threads?

[@alexhyettdev]

I haven’t tried it with photos, videos or threads. It should work in theory but the code would need updating to support it.

Hey Man, Great Video! I'm Trying to Figure How I Can Self-Host N8N on Railway, but aren't getting very far. Would be Much Appreciated If You Could Help Out.

[@alexhyettdev]

Thanks David, I am glad you liked it. Sure I wrote a blog post with step by step instructions here www.alexhyett.com/hosting-n8n-railway/

Great video Alex. I've been trying to authenticate using the same authentication type, method, etc., but I am getting 401 error. I've double checked my tokens and other credentials and I do not find any issues. When I click Connect my account, this is the error {"code":0,"message":"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')"}.

Yes, unfortunately Elon Musk has broken Twitter since I made this video. Personally I have just moved everything over to Mastodon, they have a much better API.
